It was so very hard to have to decide to euthanize my seriously ill dog, who was a friend I had for 12 years. I am so grateful for how it was handled by CodaPet and the excellent veterinarian, Dr. Dover, who came to my home. She had thoughtfully answered my questions when I made the appointment. She even was able to come earlier than scheduled when my dog took a sudden turn for the worse. Every detail of the process was carefully thought out and explained to me.
Dr. Gonnering was on time and great about communicating with us. She told us what to expect, answered all of our questions, and was kind throughout the whole process. Im grateful that she made an incredibly difficult day a bit less stressful than it otherwise could have been.
Dr. Lewis was truly sent by God to help my family let our sweet Ivy go. From the time we first chatted to the time she left our house, she was professional and caring, as if she was a longtime friend. You can see it in her face and feel it in her gentle manners that she loves her work and loves animals. If you are searching for that person to help you send your fur baby on to better places, I highly recommend Dr. Lewis. I am so thankful I found CodaPet and Dr. Lewis.
I’m so thankful that we choose to go this route at home rather than a cold table in a vet office. Dr.Gordon was wonderful with us. She treated our sweet Nyx with such kindness before & afterwards. I cannot imagine saying goodbye to our girl any other way. I hope I don’t need too but if I ever do I’ll definitely be calling her again!
When my vet gently hinted that my furbaby did not have much time left, it was hard to swallow, but I knew that I needed to educate myself about how to keep him comfortable and how to give him the love he deserves. CodaPet was one of the options suggested, and as devastating as this has been for me, choosing this option has brought me some peace. I didn’t want my furbaby to be cold and scared and surrounded by unfamiliar smells and in pain. No. When the vet told me that it was time, we did it the right way. We were able to be home, filling him with love and attention and snuggles on his favorite beanbag. He wasn’t afraid or in pain. It was very gentle, and Dr. Perzak is an angel.
Dr. Jessica was prompt, very sweet, empathetic, patient, accommodating and professional. She helped everyone feel at ease with our decision and the process. As a result, our best most handsome boy Buddy passed peacefully and without any stress or anxiety save for the profound sadness felt by those of us who loved him.
She was very sympathetic and compassionate. Being a life long animal lover herself she knew all the right encouraging words to assure me that it was time and I was doing the right thing .
Feels weird to rate the worst day of my life 5 stars, but Dr. Struble provided an amazing service for us since our Zuko had severe vet anxiety. Our girl didn't make it easy on her either, she wasn't fooled for one second that Dr. Struble was just a new friend coming to visit. Thank you, Dr. Struble, for helping us make Zuko's last moments as calm and serene as possible.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Wilson, and chose in-home euthanasia so he could be comfortable in his favorite place. Wilson was quirky, special, and so very loveable. Dr. Jessica Mumm came into our home and showed such kindness, patience, and empathy throughout the entire process. She treated Wilson with the utmost compassion and dignity, and she gave us the space and support we needed during such a difficult moment. Her gentle presence made an incredibly hard day just a little bit easier. We are so grateful for the care she provided to both Wilson and our family.
Dr.Peterson was such a blessing to have during our last moments with our pup. She made us feel very comfortable off the bat. She guided us through such a hard situation. I never felt rushed and she really took the time to know us as a family unit. I can tell she is well experienced and compassion driven. I would recommend her to anyone!
We are so grateful for the compassionate care we received during such a difficult time. Dr. Lori Thomas was—wonderful, so kind, patient and understanding. She brought her own treats to help make our pet feel comfortable, and she gave us all the time and space we needed to say goodbye in our own way. She handled everything gently with great respect. It truly felt like our pet was treated with love and dignity we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us through this moment.
He brought a calm and compassionate aura to Gizmo, my grandson, and I. He explained everything clearly and waited for us to process and prepare for what was to come. When it was over, he took great care in letting us let go without any sense of hurry. When he left with Gizmo we knew he was in good hands. He took the time to reassure us of the rightness of our decision once again. Will be forever grateful.
Dr. Lisa Fieg is such a kind and empathetic doctor. She was exactly what we hoped for. My boy Chester was able to be sent to heaven in his own room with his family. It was so peaceful. She took the time for myself and his brothers to say goodbye. She wrapped him in blankets and laid him in a basket to take him to the cremation place. It makes all the difference being able to do it at home instead of driving to the scary vet office and taken in a back room with unfamiliar people. It is SO WORTH THE MONEY to have her help you. She was able to accommodate the time we wanted and arrived on time. We have had sad experiences at the vets office in the past. I will only use her for my babies from now on. We are lucky to have her available to serve my city. Rare find. Highly recommend!
100% recommend Dr. Murray. On such a hard day for our family, he was very understanding, comforting and communicative both before and during the appointment. He was able to make our cat's passing as comfortable as possible. We are so grateful we were able to have this procedure done at home without the typical going-to-the-vet stress.
Dr Cassandra was so knowledgeable, respectful, patient. We were able to schedule an in home euthanasia for our best boy Jimmy as his health slowly declined and she made it so he could pass peacefully in his home, comfortable and surrounded by love. She treated him with so much care (before and after he passed), let us take all the time we needed, answered or questions. It's so painful to lose him, but she made it as comfortable as it could be. The little jar with a snip of his fur, the paw imprints were such a nice touch. Thank you for doing the work you do, Dr. Cassandra - it's such a tough thing to do seeing people on their worst days, but you make it a little less hard.
Dr Daniela was kind, respectful and very professional. She made sure our Thulu girl had a dignified crossing. The Dr was patient and empathetic through out the whole process, this was really tough decision but having the Dr in our corner was incredibly helpful and comforting. My girl passed without any pain, a comfortable sleep next to all her friends and family. Thank you Dr, we really appreciate your help, time, compassion and we couldn't ask for anything more.
Dr Dzierga went above and beyond for our family on what was a very difficult day. I saw that our 20 year old cat was going downhill very quickly and had to make the decision no one wants to make. I made the appointment for Dr Briell to come to our house to help our kitty cross the rainbow bridge. She was able to come a few hours later. Unfortunately, Crystal took matters into her own hands and passed before our scheduled appointment. Dr Briell arranged the cremation and return of Crystal, made sure we had pawprints and nose prints, and was just so very caring with all the details and with us. She asked about Crystal's origin story and sincerely listened. She went over everything in detail and left nothing out. She sent a lovely note with Crystal when she came home. I am forever grateful that Dr Briell was here to help make a difficult day a little bit easier. I would recommend her very highly. She does the work if an angel!
Dr. Sarah gave us pre-visit medicine to help my anxious dog the night before he crossed the rainbow bridge. Very compassionate and calming.
Dr Whala is the best compassionate Doctor. We have used her twice and during this difficult time she was an answer for our hurting hearts. Thank you so much for your empathy.
Our girl Zola got to be in her favorite place—outside, surrounded by her favorite people—for her last moments, thanks to this service. Dr. John Murray was gentle, kind, and very respectful. I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thank you.
Dr Loughmiller was so wonderful during such a hard time. Thoughtful and professional and made sure our sweet storm was surrounded by love. I can’t thank her enough!
Dr Alicia Nolfi was amazing. She was compassionate and patient, and extremely sensitive to what we were going through. She explained the process in detail and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend her to anyone needing her services in the Roaring Fork or Crystal River valleys.
t’s taken me a while to write this review because of how traumatic this experience was for everyone in my household. I elected to use Coda Pet for my dogs end of life services and I will regret that decision for the rest of my life. This is the uber eats of your dogs end of life services. Do better than me, and really research who you’re going with. A couple good reviews aren’t going to cut it in this situation. Dr Meadows was who our assigned doctor was, and he maybe said 5 words during the entire exchange. He comes in, doesn’t make my dogs feel comfortable at all. Or me for that matter! No communication at all. For example I have one dog who barks at people when they walk in, this was known. She never barks for this long at someone, but she just didn’t like his energy, and never relaxed, and I’ll say she wasn’t wrong for that. The entire process felt rushed. My dog who was being put down, was excited to see him, but no love was exchanged. Just “okay sit down, I have to put this needle in” literally. That’s pretty much what he said. My dog didn’t react well to the sedative. This is when the trauma really started. She yelped in pain, her heart immediately racing. She started running around the kitchen, losing her ability to walk. She was scared, heart racing, and it was truly my worst nightmare. The “Dr” sat on his butt on the floor for the ENTIRETY of this happening. Like isn’t this his actual practice?! Why am I the only one trying to console my poor, terrified dog alone? I was the one who had to pick her up and lay her on the bed and literally beg for euthanasia because of how scared she was. And her heart was racing so so badly. Eventually he got off his ass to administer it, and I said goodbye to her in such a horrible way. When it was time for her to be taken out, he got an assistant, who said she was so sorry, but the Dr himself said not one word. Nothing. I was promised compassion from this company, I did not receive it. I was promised dignity for my pet. She did not receive it. I feel robbed. Of a peaceful passing for my baby girl. I feel overcharged for such a disgusting experience. The only people who showed kindness here was the cremation company that they passed her on to. Coda pet would receive negative stars from me if they could. I called a couple days later to express my disgust, and never heard back. But I guess that’s to be expected from the uber eats of pet euthanasia services. No like literally, my dog was taken out in a jeep. Not a “coda pet” official van or anything. Not even dignity there. Needless to say, this is one of the most traumatic things that has ever happened to me and my best friend. I have to find ways to reduce the guilt I have from choosing this company, and I don’t know if I ever can. Book elsewhere, this place should not get any of your money. And do not let them anywhere near your babies.
Dr Martin is a very caring vet and I would recommend him to all. If you want your pet to take heir final journey being comfortable in their own home, then ask for Dr Lane Martin. Thanks for taking care of our Isaac!
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Buddy, and it was one of the hardest days of our lives. We were incredibly fortunate to have such a compassionate and truly wonderful veterinarian come to our home to help him pass peacefully. From the moment Dr. Karen arrived, she showed Buddy and us the deepest kindness patience and respect. She explained everything gently and gave us time to say our goodbyes and created a calm comforting environment so Buddy could leave us in the most peaceful way possible. We are so grateful for the care empathy and professionalism shown during this difficult time. It gave us comfort to know that Buddys last moments were filled with dignity and LOVE! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through this. Highly recommended to anyone needing this service.
We couldn’t have had a better experience with Dr. Duvall. After saying goodbye to my last dog at a vet’s office, I just knew I wanted to do things differently this time around. It’s not that the vet was unkind, it was the atmosphere and the fact that Oscar didn’t know where he was in his last moments. This past weekend, we had to say goodbye again. And Dr. Duvall was very aware of this fact and tried to make things as comfortable for Baozi as much as she could. He passed peacefully on a blanket laid out on my living room floor and just looked as though he were in a deep sleep. She also went over his medical history to give a second opinion on what could possibly have been ailing him. I found Baozi on the side of the road as a puppy. He lived a full 15 yrs and held on as long as he could. I could’ve done with 15 more though. We’ll miss him sorely but thankfully he was so cozy in the end.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Oliver, at home, and Dr. Lori Thomas helped us through one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment she arrived, she was kind, patient, and incredibly compassionate—not just with Oliver, but with us as well. She explained each step with such care and gave us all the time we needed. Oliver was calm and comfortable in his favorite spot, surrounded by love, which meant everything to us. Dr. Thomas made a heartbreaking experience peaceful, dignified, and filled with compassion, and we are so deeply grateful for the gentle way she helped Oliver and our family.
I had to put my husband‘s cat to sleep today I couldn’t have asked for more thoughtful, caring, considerate, and compassionate Doctor Brielle. She was understanding and treated Ziva like it was her own. She took her time, explained everything. It was a very hard decision to make, but she made it possible with love. She took her time to make sure Ziva was comfortable. She even brought my other cat Jethro in to make sure he was aware of what was going on. She knew that my husband had just passed away and when she took Ziva to her final resting place, she saw a rainbow and texted me saying that Ziva went over the rainbow and John was waiting to greet her and welcome her home. That meant the world to me . Such a compassionate dr. Thank you for being who you are…. AMAZING
I have never been through having a pet passing away at home.Dr. Briell Is the most wonderful, Caring, considerate and compassionate Dr I have ever met. She came to the house to help with ziva, She couldn’t have been kinder as if it was her own cat. She treated Ziva with love and compassion. She made sure that Ziva was comfortable. She never rushed us. She even had our other cat come in to see what was going on. In our time of grieving, Ziva couldn’t have been taken care of By anybody better. She made the process absolutely bearable. She knew that my husband had passed away recently and on her way with Ziva ( my husbands favorite) she saw a rainbow and texted me to say that she’s going over the rainbow bridge and John was welcoming her. It meant the world to me . Thank you, you truly are amazing. ❤️
I would recommend CodaPet, and Dr Amanda Harper to anyone needing end of life assistance with their dear pet. The experience was completely dignified amd peaceful. Dr Harper provided such gentle care to my boy. I was deeply touched. She made a difficult situation bearable.
Dr Williams is the person you want to be there to help your pet cross the rainbow bridge. He is so kind and compassionate. I so appreciate him.
Dr. Yarvarski was exceptionally competent and careful. She spent time with us and ensured we understood the process before she began. Our pet, Derby, was at ease in our home and we could not be more grateful to CODA Pet and Dr. Emily.
Dr Amy was so compassionate. The circumstances for utilizing a service like Coda Pet or in home euthanasia are never ideal. However, she was professional. Very communicative, gentle, and caring.
Dr. Martin was kind, empathetic, and soft at a time we really needed it. He explained the euthanasia process clearly and gave us as much time as we needed to love, hold, and grieve our sweet boy, Oliver. Dr. Martin was professional throughout the procedure and provided a peaceful, pain free, goodbye to my best friend of 13 years, and we are so grateful.
Our first contact with CODAPET and subsequent interaction with Dr. Jackson was a phenomenal experience under very stressful circumstances. Dr. Jackson respectfully and patiently explained things and answered our questions. Dr. Jackson was compassionate, caring and calming, towards us and our Sheba. We thank Dr. Jackson and will never forget him.
Dr. Jennifer Holman is exactly the kind of person you want assisting you with your loved ones transition. She is gentle, open, peaceful, and caring. She goes with the energy of your pet, your home, your family, and you. She cares for your pets dignity and earns your trust instantly. I miss my Penny girl dearly and terribly, but Dr. Holman provided the best passing one could dream of. She made me comfortable with the hardest decision I’ll ever make, and she took her time with me and Penny as we said our goodbyes. This is a very delicate time, and you need a delicate person like Jennifer. May Penny rest in peace, and may God send Jennifer to every home that needs her. A lovely soul to send off my sweet Penny’s soul.
Dr. Amy was incredibly sweet and kind throughout the entire process and let us take our time when we needed it. She provided a paw print impression for us which we now treasure
Dr Sara helped us in dire circumstances by helping Sable start the next part of her journey. She was gentle and caring both for our comfort and to ease our big dog out of this life as painlessly as possible when there was no more hope for her recovery. We miss Sable every day! Thank you Dr Sara. /Dave and Olga
Dr. Perzak was such a blessing to our family as we had to put our dog down. Her kindness and gentleness with our dog were a comfort and she handled the entire process incredibly from coordinating the details ahead of time to everything the day of. We cannot thank her enough!
It’s a hard decision to make. I like how she assured us that if she didn’t think it was warranted, she wouldn’t advise it. Turns out it was warranted, so we moved forward. As hard as it was, it was very peaceful for our dog Carmen. This vet is very knowledgeable and compassionate. We were quite at ease having this done at home and with Dr Briell Dzierga.

Dr.Phillips was just wonderful and helped us through a really difficult time. She was very compassionate and was very focused on helping us understand the process of letting our sweet cat go. She gave us space to grieve and had so many suggestions and ideas for memory keeping. We are thankful we found her! Highly recommended.
Dr. Megan was EXACTLY what we needed on this difficult day. She was kind, compassionate, and allowed us to move through the process T our own pace. Before we sent Kisses (our senior cat) with her, she explained next steps clearly and patiently waited for any questions or concerns we had. She went above and beyond to make sure that we received Kisses ashes. Thank you so much, Megan. We are forever grateful for you and appreciate so much how you handled that moment for us.
Dr. Lowman was so kind and very professional. She was patient and clearly communicated the whole process. She made a very difficult day the best it could be. Highly recommend.
Dr Peek was great! We had to put down our 11.5 year old Great Dane and decided to try this in home service. It was the best way to go through this hard process. Our dog was able to lie on his bed with all of us around. It was very peaceful. I highly recommend this service.

Dr. Kelly was so nice and amazing! She peacefully let Seraphina my cat go. I was there with her and I made a very brave decision. Thank you for taking good care of my sweet baby for the very end! Highly recommend!
Dr. Whala was professional, caring, and a blessing. Having her come to my house in order for Baby to be comfortable in the company of the entire family made the difference given the difficult situation of saying goodbye to our precious German Shepherd, Baby. We appreciate the services she provides to make sure Baby was treated with love and care.
I can't imagine having to bring our cat in a pet carrier to the vet to put her down. Being able to use an in home euthanasia service was very important to keeping our cat calm and feeling loved. Dr. Martin arrived just at the time we expected, explained everything clearly and our dear cat, Idgie, left this world peacefully. It's horrible to have to put your pet down, but I couldn't imagine anyone being more understanding than Dr. Martin. Additionally, Dr. Martin checked in with me the next day and gave me some grief resources.
Dr Daniela Lutri is very attentive, compassionate and made this entire experience comforting, and easier than I anticipated. I was worried about my decision, but she examined my dog and explained everything to me in detail. She reassured me that I was making the right choice. She explained the entire process of euthanasia and everything went as perfect as it could’ve been. I am very thankful for her service.
A wonderful vet and human being. Dr. Murray took the time to ask about our Patch’s life and what he liked to do and eat. He assured us we were making the correct decision and made sure Patch was comfortable without rushing anything. He took paw and nose prints before Patch passed and was caring to a degree I’d never experienced from a vet before. I highly recommend Dr. Murray.
He was extremely kind and supportive through the process of putting our sweet dog down. He walked us through everything, made us feel very comfortable, and gave us all of the time we needed. It was a heartbreaking moment but he made it the best it could be. We can’t thank him enough for the kindness he showed us during this time.
Dr. Guerrero was absolutely amazing! On one of the hardest days of our lives, she brought a loving, caring, comforting presence into our home and gave our Bandit a peaceful passing. I could not speak more highly of Dr. Guerrero.
We put our cat down at home a few weeks ago. The Dr was very caring and kind. She allowed space for my kids to process how they needed. She let them gather around however they wanted. She walked us through each step of the way. I highly recommend.
This was a beautiful experience. Dr. Mumm was so kind, took the time to get to know our pup but also our other pup, spoke gently and talked through everything in advance. For our senior pup who hated getting in the car, this was a much nicer way to say goodbye to her.
I want to give so much thanks to Dr. Jessica. We had to say goodbye to our family cat of 16 years, Gizmo down due to metastatic cancer. He was on hospice already and it was time so he wouldn’t suffer, his pains meds were only managing so much and his status was declining. I honestly have to say this was the hardest decision I have ever had to make and it broke my heart. Dr. Jessica was so kind, patient and supportive to us during the process. My Gizmo who isn’t font of outsiders was even kind to her and let her pet him. If you have to make this hard decision for your loved pet I would definitely recommend Dr.Jessica. Doing this at home made the experience so much easier for myself and family. I was balling but I Gizmo and my family got to be in the comfort our own home and he got to listen to music, and be cuddled by his family as he passed.
Dr. Brielle Dzierga was absolutely amazing during a very sad and traumatic time for our family. Losing our precious Marley was extremely scary and painful. Dr. Brielle was very professional and patient during the process. She took time to explain the process so that we knew exactly what to expect. She comforted us and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Dr. Brielle hugged us many times before she left with our precious Marley. I highly recommend Dr. Brielle Dzierga to help your pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
Dr. Goldberg was amazing. Made me feel like i made the right choice for my girl. She recognized the urgency of the situation and made sure to move quickly so Mable did not have to suffer anymore than she already had. The in home service was amazing, stress free for both Mable and myself I appreciate everything Dr Goldberg did and would recommend her to anyone going through this situation with a pet.
Dr Guardhouse was very compassionate during our appointment. Choosing to put our dog down at home was absolutely the best decision for us and our pet. Dr Gardhouse took her time to explain the process and make sure we were ready to move to the next step. Our dog's final minutes surrounded by family and getting plenty of love was the perfect way to say goodbye to our beloved pet.
Dr. Brittany Dash and CodaPet were amazing with my sweet English Black Labrador Madison. Brittany was so gentle and caring with Madison's journey across the rainbow bridge. Madison peacefully passed with loving family surrounding her. CodaPet delivered Madison's ashes with a sweet card and presentation. Thank you for all of your Love and support Dr. Brittany Dash.
Dr. Clem was kind, compassionate, and patient, as we had to euthanize both of our dogs. It was hard letting them go, but it was peaceful and they were at home. They weren’t scared or anxious, like they would have been if they were in a veterinarian’s office. I am thankful for what Dr. Clem allowed us to have with our two dogs.
Dr. Dennis was extremely compassionate and kind as she helped us say goodbye to our beloved cat. Our cat had some trouble absorbing the sedation and she was so patient and caring throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her and her services, at-home euthanasia was a much better option than stressing our cat out by putting him in a car to go to an office. He was able to pass peacefully at home where he was comfortable and surrounded by us and our other cats. Very grateful to Dr. Dennis for everything she did to help our cat pass peacefully, and to help our little family process our loss ❤️🩹
The Hallmark Channel could not have casted a better veterinarian to come into our home and perform the procedure. Dr. Alexander truly has a gift for this work and we’re happy she shared that with us. There is no more peaceful way to send off your beloved pet than in the comfort of their own home.
She was incredibly patient. Explained everything to all of us. Let us ask and let us be involved as much as we could. Gave us all the time we needed. Very empathetic and kind.
In home pet Euthanasia: This is a very hard review to write because it is about our personal loss of our beloved pet Lucy. Lucy's decline was very sudden and unexpected. While she was 14 years old she was very energenic and still got the zoomies once in awhile. Within a few minutes of coming back from her routine walk, she collapsed. She was diagnosed with Vestibular syndrome (inner/middle ear) and was expected to improve within 24-48 hours, but she did not. When we made the decision that it was time to say goodbye, we wanted to do it at home. We wanted her to be comfortable and surrounded by her loved ones. We didn't want to put her through anymore distress of driving her somewhere. Afterall, how many pets are excited to go to the vet?! We found Dr. Karen Duncan and she could not have been anymore caring and compassionate towards us and Lucy. She also evaluated Lucy to validate we were making the right decision. She explained everything to us and took her time. We did not feel rushed whatsoever. She took care of everything. While it is not a decision anyone likes to make, we would encourage others when that time comes to consider In-Home-Pet-Euthanasia. Be there for your pet in their loving surroundings.
Dr. Anna was caring, knowledgeable, and was able to very comfortably lead us through this painful process. We were very thankful to have her there with us.
We are very thankful for CodaPet and the care provided by Dr. Whala. Dr. Whala was very compassionate while providing professional care for our dog.She provided excellent communication and guidance. Losing a family pet (member) is a struggle.Dr Whala helped us and our dog. We are extremely grateful .
Dr. Todd was nothing less of incredible. From the moment we booked her services; she sent a text to confirm the appointment and to let her know if we needed services quicker to let her know. The morning of, she sent a confirmation text and even let us know when she was on her way. She has a wonderful demeanor; and everyone was comfortable with her. She explained the process to us; answered all of our questions and even got a paw print for us. I could not ask for a better provider to help our beloved pet transition over the rainbow bridge. I will always recommend her; and if the need ever arose again, I will be using Dr. Todd again.
I knew that my Chloe was in her last days. I felt it in my gut. I did not want to take her to the vet to give her final treatment because of my 1st experience with my Zack years prior. I just remembered feeling rushed, and just empty and cold. And then feeling regret for many months afterward. So I told myself I wouldn’t take my dog to be put down ever again. However, my friend told me about in home euthanasia. Though I was still very nervous, it sounded like the best option for me and my Chloe. I was given a good referral for CodaPet and went on their website. Scheduling the appointment was seamless, and I appreciate the transparency of the pricing. I am forever thankful that I met Dr. Daniela Lutri. She spoke with so much compassion, empathy and validation through the entire process. She spoke to me about each step to be taken and what each injection was, and what to expect in Chloe’s reaction. She took her time to get to know Chloe, her history and how she came to us. She truly humanized my Chloe, and provided a heart warming presence, all the way through. Dr. Daniela was truly an Angel and Godsend: helping my Chloe cross the rainbow bridge. 🙏🏽❤️thank you, Dr. Daniela.
After our senior cat suddenly became ill, we made the difficult decision to euthanize her. Dr. Cassandra came out to our house after our small children had gone to bed. She was so wonderful throughout the process, she reached out to me beforehand to see if I had an questions. When she arrived, she was so kind and compassionate, walking us through the process and re-affirming our decision was the right one to end the suffering for our cat. She took her time, explained everything she was doing and what we could expect as she gave the medications and allowed us time alone with our cat. She also wrapped our cat in a blanket and basket after the process was over. She was such a beacon of light through a dark period of grief. I can't say enough kind words about her and our experience with CodaPet.
I can't say enough about Dr Lisa littlejohn and the service she provides. This is for all pet parents of a four-legged fur baby. I knew in my heart what had to be done but I kept wishing for a miracle. I couldn't watch my baby suffer anymore and at 90 plus pounds I couldn't pick her up to carry her out for her to do her business. Dr Lisa littlejohn came to my house we talked and cried until I was ready to say goodbye. With all the animals I have had in my life I have had occasion to meet a lot of vets. A few good ones a lot of bad ones, but I never met anybody as loving caring and gentle as her. She is indeed an angel on Earth and the world would be a much better place with more people like her in it. The loving care and respect she showed my Katie was beyond measure if it's time and you need to talk with someone contact Dr Lisa littlejohn. Brinda Whiteside
Dr. Roberts was awesome with Rosie and my family. So very glad I chose to have Rosie at home for her crossing over the “rainbow bridge”.
We had a same day need and I was a wreck. Dr. Earls was fabulous. She spoke softly and warmly which brought much comfort. She explained the process and reminded us there was no need to rush, giving us plenty of time to give our Lilly lots of love in her final moments. I'm so appreciative.
Dr. Kelly Neri was wonderful. I had expressed concern about giving Pikachu his sedative too fast and causing him to flinch, as had happened with another cat at a hospital, and she understood our concern and was so gentle and kind. She had my daughter offer him a Churu treat which she allowed him to enjoy for some time before slowly injecting the sedative. He quickly fell asleep with no pain at all. After then, she injected the euthanasia agent. He had no pain and no discomfort. Doing this in our home, on the couch of his choice, meant he had no stress, no metal tables or yapping dogs to disturb him and cause him anxiety. I plan to hire Dr. Neri again when it is time for my other cat to go. We all miss Peaky terribly, but know we made the right choice in using Dr. Kelly Neri and CodaPet.
Dr Christine came into our lives on the 8th of August of this year. Our little girl Missy had declining for quite some time and for her well being we decided it was time for her to cross over to be wilth her brother Tater. She was 3 1/2 lbs of teacup Maltipoo love and had live a good life of 18 1/2 years. The call was made the clinic to have someone come to the house and be with Missy and help her on the journey she was taking. Dr. Christine arrived on Friday and sat with us and talked about what was going to happen and the process. She picked up Missy too let her know who was here as Missy was both blind and deaf. Missy was very calm and showed no signes of stress or aggitatlion. Dr Christine was so loving and caring when she administered the drugs and we knew Missy felt this. I have never met a veterinarian with such a caring and loving demeanor when she is doing her job. There is a special place for her. Charles L Croghan & Sandra J Treece
Dr. Doss was very thoughtful and kind. He really gave us time to grieve our dog before and after we had to let him go. I would recommend him to everyone.
I'm so glad I heard about Coda Pets. I was worried Minnesota Pets doesn't serve the Arrowhead region anymore, we had them 5 yrs ago for Doras mom Loki. There's no way I'd bring my dog to a vet clinic to say goodbye. And the one vet that comes out, I've had bad experiences with and was dreading to support them. Doras passing was holy as I got to spoon her and grieve. I arranged for Furever Love to come later so I had time to anoint her body. I barely remember Anna being here, I was out of my mind. , she was kind and respectful. I will tell everyone that has to make this decision about Coda Pets...
Our baby had the most honorable discharge — not only peaceful but deeply spiritual. I did not know what to expect, but the experience was comforting from beginning to end. Dr. Pugh guided us with her nonjudgmental ear, insightful wisdom, personal stories about her own mother, and a research-based guidance tool that put us at ease. I never valued quantitative data-collecting methods, such as the QOL survey, as much as I do now. We were grateful she shared this tool with us, because it allowed us to see the future clearly. As Dr. Pugh reminded us, “better to be a week early than a day late.” We are so thankful that she was our doctor — her compassion, clarity, and hugs made all the difference in one of the most difficult moments of our lives. From our ChatGPT deep dive on who to choose, she did not disappoint.
"John was amazing. He's a warm person and a gentle soul. For each step of the process he waited patiently until we were ready to proceed. Highly recommend him and at home euthanasia for your pet."
Dr. Thompson showed so much love and care for Lucy and for our entire family. Our girl was able to slip away in the comfort of our home and that in itself brings me some peace and comfort. 💗🐕💔
